Charming and visually spectacular
13 November 2019 | by muamba_eats_toast – See all my reviews

I know historically it's not correct but I go to watch films for entertainment not a history lesson so disregarding that side of things. Jones and Redmayne had great chemistry the whole film was utterly charming if lacking depth at times but enjoyable none the less. Seeing it in IMAX is definitely worthwhile as it's simply breathtaking at times visually.
